The Hidden Sexuality of Alexandrium Minutum: An Example of Overlooked Sex in Dinoflagellates.
Dinoflagellates are haploid eukaryotic microalgae in which rapid proliferation causes dense blooms, with harmful health and economic effects to humans. The proliferation mode is mainly asexual, as the sexual cycle is believed to be rare and restricted to

Antiamoebic Properties of Ceftriaxone and Zinc-Oxide–Cyclodextrin-Conjugated Ceftriaxone
Acanthamoeba castellanii is a ubiquitous free-living amoeba capable of instigating keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in humans. Treatment remains limited and inconsistent.

Abstract Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Alexandrium catenella occur annually in the Gulf of Maine, leading to accumulation of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in bivalve mollusks and closure of harvesting areas. State monitoring programs in the region rely on weekly shellfish sampling and toxin analysis, requiring extensive effort with limited ...

Growth and Encystation of Acanthamoeba castellanii [PDF]
SUMMARY: Complete encystment of Acanthamoeba occurred in peptone-yeast extract-glucose medium supplemented with 50 mM-magnesium chloride. There was an increase in the RNA, protein and DNA contents of the cells which coincided with an increase in the proportion of binucleate amoebae and commitment to encystation, suggesting that encystation could be a ...

Intraspecific Variation in the Characteristics of Cryptocaryon irritans Isolated in Japan
ABSTRACT Cryptocaryon irritans is an obligate parasitic ciliate and the causative agent of cryptocaryoniasis. This parasite is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical marine waters, and numerous outbreaks in aquaculture have been reported worldwide. Previous studies have documented variations in biological traits, such as cell size, serotype and

The Characterisation of an Adrenergic Signalling System Involved in the Encystment of the Ocular Pathogen Acanthamoeba spp. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise the receptor system involved in controlling encystment in Acanthamoeba using specific agonists and antagonists and to examine whether endogenous stores of catecholamines are produced by the organism.

Ameobae belonging to the genus Acanthamoeba are responsible for the human diseases Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). The treatment of these illnesses is hampered by the existence of a resistance stage (cysts).

The radical closure of Gaza serves here as an extreme example of a process of\ud isolation and immiseration of national enemies that is deeply rooted in Israeli\ud ideology and practices of state formation. I use encystation to reveal the dual\ud meaning of the term—that of radical isolation of diseased elements and that of\ud protecting a fetus within
